Ramadan: Borno Adjusts School Calendar—-The Borno Ministry of Education has directed
primary and secondary schools to adjust their calendar and timing.

The directive is in a statement by the State Director, School Services in the ministry,
Alhaji Mustapha Bukar, on Monday in Maiduguri.

He stated that the adjustment is because of the fasting period, adding that “schools should now
close by noon, instead of 1.30 p.m.

“In light of the ongoing fasting period of Ramadan for the year 1445 AH, it is hereby directed that
all primary and secondary schools across the state adjust their daily closing time to noon.

“Moreover, all non-essential extra-curricular activities should be discouraged throughout the
duration of the Ramadan.

“Additionally, we kindly request all primary and secondary schools to ensure completion of
academic activities, including examinations, for the 2nd term of the 2023/ 2024 academic session
by Friday, March 29, 2024.”

He noted that holidays are scheduled to commence from Saturday, March 30 to Sunday, April 28.

“Schools shall resume for the 3rd term of the 2023/2024 academic session on Monday, April 29,
2024,” he added.

Panic as Four-Storey School Building Collapses in Ogba Area of Lagos—-A major tragedy was averted in Lagos State on Monday when a four-storey building housing a school collapsed minutes after students and workers left the premises.

Tribune Online gathered that the incident occurred around 12 noon at 11 Adudatu Street, behind County Hospital in the Aguda area of Ogba, housing Yemco Nursery, Primary and Comprehensive College.

It was gathered that a man in the vicinity raised the alarm that the building was showing signs of distress and was unsafe for people to occupy it.

“That was how students and teachers hurriedly exited the building,” an eyewitness account said, adding that.

“Shortly thereafter, the building collapsed.”

It was gathered that the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Services later mobilised to the scene to secure the area and restrict access to the collapsed structure.

Also, Tribune Online further learnt that part of the collapsed building, which is being used for residential purposes, remained standing beside the collapsed portion.

Reacting to the incident, the Head of Public Affairs unit of the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, Mr Kayode Sutton, told Nigerian Tribune that the ministry had dispatched a team to the scene to ascertain the situation and cause of the incident.

He said further comment could only be provided after the fact-finding team submitted its findings
